Five Likes Tuesday

While looking up vacation photos from my last trip to England I also stumbled across this one. This beautiful walking path at Torpoint, Cornwall looks so inviting right about now.

My home has already started to take on the feeling of winter, so the flowers around my house are all deep, purple tones. Apart from other seasonal things it's a nice way to embrace the transitioning of seasons and add a beautiful glow with autumnal hues.

One of my favourite indulgences is Sweet Cheese Filo Rolls. These are made from filo pastry sheets, and can be filled with butter (melted), caster sugar, and a sweetened mixture of fresh cheeses, (cream cheese, fresh ricotta, softened, fresh cottage cheese) or possibly sweetened whipped cream as a filling. They're oh, so crisp, and light, and easy to prepare.

I bought this pair of fancy, striped, wool/mohair, knee-high socks. There is nothing better than curling up in comfy pants and warm socks on a cold winter day.

Braided hairstyle. A classic and cute hairstyle that is simple, fun and easy to do and also a great way to keep long hair neat and up off the face. Modern trends may come and go but the classics stays forever.

That first shot looks like a painting! Italians make that dessert - called cannoli filled with rigotta cheese and sometimes chocolate chips; the outside filling is dipped in pistachio nuts and the whole thing is sprinkled with powdered sugar.

I do love your variety of shots for the day, Betty! I just got up so the Sweet Cheese Filo Rolls look delicious! Love your first shot at Torpoint and it does indeed look like a painting! It's cold and wet here so the socks look great. I've worn my hair quite short for many years, it's naturally curly, so short is easiest! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy!

I have heard you talk about England, but do not know if you have named your home. (Maybe it's because I'm relatively new to your blog.) If that's by design, I apologize for bringing it up.

Hair... In my youth, I always wished I could wear longer hair, but my hair type is wavy and the Chicago area is windy... bad combo. I knew I was grown up when I started to keep my hair short... and preferred it that way.

My hair! Don't even get me started. My hair is waist length and dead... both of them. I need to cut it off and put it out of its misery. It doesn't look good short, or long, it just looks dead. However, it matches my face.

Wonderful photos. My husband just bought a new camera yesterday (!) so we'll see what is forthcoming. The socks are my favorite. What is it about socks! Hair has been all over the place but never really, really long. Enjoyed the visit. Sandra

These are lovely photos dear Betty, Cornwall looks beautiful and so to your flowers, socks and the yummy filo rolls.I like my hair just below my shoulders so I can wear it down, braid it, or tie it back with a scrunchie.xoxoxo ♡

I like all of those too, especially the walk in Cornwall. I have short hair, easier to comb, easier to wash and cooler in summer. My daughter has long hair and it is lovely but when she stays here I an forever finding hair in the bathroom.

Oh...magnificent fotos. The Sweet Cheese Filo Rolls...very good, i suppose!!!Here is cold too. I have my foreplace...yessssss!!!My hairstyle? well, I have long , blond hair...but I'de like to have some curls (?)

Can I sent you a picture of my long hair?
